out the door car shopping today. I'll keep my eye out for that model.

I actually know a guy up North that has one. It looked very scary. One big roller from a wake boat and you are toast.

You talking on Vermillion? Across from the resort? I think I remember seeing it. Was it a white one?

I know someone on prior lake and minnetonka have these pleasure cruisers too

Darren, there is a local guy in jordan who is learning how to work on vw's. Timing belt sucks, at a 1000 dollars, but you can do it yourself pretty easy or go through this local guy for less then half that 1000$ cost.

Hes put in a few on vw's now. My timing belt kit with a new serp belt and water pump was about 175$. took about an hour two do or so with two people.

Get a 5sp, they have more get up and go then an AT then youll enjoy driving the car better too

Ludlow's Island has one of the amphicars.

Believe it or not, still looking.

electrical gremlins, and a not so stellar tranny.....no thanks.

Looking at a Honda Accord and Scion tC on Wed.

For what it's worth...our 97 Accord just passed 200,000 and we've replaced water pump/timing belt ($400 total) and some brake pads. Other than oil changes, THAT"S IT. Sorry mechanics on this site, I know I should be doing more preventative maintenance!!

Sounds normal to me

We ended up getting an '04 Accord EX Coupe with the 2.4

Got a great price on it, and no timing belt.

Thanks for the suggestions.

[pureinsanity]

Nice, I think you will be happy with the buy!

At least you do not have to worry about a belt breaking! and its pretty rare for a chain to break!

Congrats D

Are you going to stick a fart can on the exhaust?

[Eric Wettschreck]

Good for ya DarrEn. Although, I was kind of hoping you'd get a monster truck.

Just cuz I wanted to borrow it.

We've only seen one issue with a 2.4 and it had well over 200k on it. We had no history on the vehicle so we didn't get to go over the life of the motor. It had 0 compression on 3 cylinders.

The 2.4 has a nice power to car feel in the accord!
